.... in 1865, Mark Twain, author of Woodmere's American Maxim shown below, published the "Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" - he was 30 years old at the time.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known as Mark Twain, would go on and entertain Americans with his literary wit until his death in 1910. His best known works were The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The portrait shown at right is the last one ever painted of him.
